AICPA Recognizes 41 CPAs for Sustained Contribution to the Accounting Profession

The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) has selected 41 CPAs to receive its Sustained Contribution Award. The award recognizes members of the Institute who have contributed measurably to the AICPA and the CPA profession through their volunteer service.

All of the recipients have served on an Institute volunteer group for 20 or more years and have served at least once as a chair of an AICPA committee, task force or resource panel.

“The AICPA congratulates all of the recipients of this year’s Sustained Contribution Award,” said Kathy Johnson, CPA, a member of the AICPA’s award committee. “The work they’ve done in volunteer leadership roles at the AICPA has strengthened the profession.”

The following CPAs were recognized at the fall meeting of the AICPA’s governing Council by Johnson.
